Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has made very clear that he expects nothing less than the F1 2010 title from his team - revealing that he is unhappy with the number of points Red Bull Racing has let slip by the wayside this year and stating that 🐓anything other than the crown 'would be absurd'.

Whilst between them Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber have claimed eight of the nine pole positions this season to-date - underꦐlining the widely-held conviction that, until recently at least, the Adrian Newey-designed, Renault-powered RB6 has been the fastest thing on four wheels in the top flig🏅ht - precious points have been lost through reliability woes, strategic errors and the calamitous collision between the pair in the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul that denied RBR a potential one-two.

Arriving at Silverstone for 💃this weekend's British Grand Prix, only half of those poles have been successfully converted into race victories - two apiece for Vettel and Webber - and the German and the Australian sit respectively third and fourth in the drivers' title standings, when only last month they had shared the lead. McLaren-Mercedes similarly holds a 30-point advantage over its Milton Keynes-based rival in the constructors' chase - and Mateschitz insists now is the time to fight back.

"First of all, I am satisfied with the drivers and car all-round," the Austrian energy drinks magnate told the Salzburger Nachrichten. "What I am not satisfied with is the score, because on paper we should have a head-start instead of having a defi꧟cit. Now we have to make uꦕp lost ground.

"Expecting anything less [than the F1 2010 title] would be absurd. If someone with our potential cannot expect to win the world championship, then who [c🌼an]?"
